Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm

EUVDB-ID: #VU25572

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8863

CWE-ID: CWE-303 - Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to a lack of proper implementation of the authentication algorithm within the handling of HNAP PrivateLogin login requests. A remote attacker on the local network can bypass authentication and reset the admin password.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the router.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

DIR-867-US: v1.10b04

DIR-878: v1.20b03_Hotfix

DIR-882-US: v1.10b04

2) Incorrect Comparison

EUVDB-ID: #VU25573

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8864

CWE-ID: CWE-697 - Incorrect Comparison

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to a lack of proper handling of empty passwords within the handling of HNAP strncmp login requests. A remote attacker on the local network can bypass authentication and reset the admin password.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the router.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
